Technical Warm Up (5 mins)

Cones set up as obstacles around the area

Players dribble around the area in and out of the cones in any direction that they choose

Coach shouts out different commands such as accelarate, different parts of feet, turns, etc during the session

Defenders are now introduced to the area to add pressure on the dribblers. Rotate the players so everyone has a chance of dribbling.

Progress the session by adding a challenge, and telling the defeders that they must kick the dribblers footballs out of the area to eliminate them from the game. The last person left in the area with their ball under control is the winner.

Coaching Points:

Keep the ball close to the body

Use big toe and little toe to dribble

Keep head up when moving around the area

Changes of pace and direction

Feints and dummies while dribbling
